When it comes to the Mets, I choose to live in the past.
1969, to be exact:
For those that care to see it, the rest is in my bucket.
Hey Wax, ya prolly missed my question, but seeing your memorabilia, do you collect signed Mets books, or do you just happen to have the Hernandez one signed?
Randy St. Claire, new pitching coach of AAA Las Vegas (god that hurts to say), and brought back Omar Quintanilla on a minor league deal (yes another minor league deal, no major league ones to speak of)
The excitement level ramps up with every amazing move the Mets make this off season. (Now I need to shower to wash off all this sarcasm)
Oh nice, I collect Mets books as a whole, and try to get signed ones when I can, I have the Hernandez book signed too.
And yeah, " the dumpster diving approach" as you call it, only works once in a blue moon (which actually happened last week, the blue moon that is). As they say, you gotta open a lot of oysters before you find a pearl
In his column for the New York Post,Mike Vaccaro believes Mike Piazza belongs in the Hall of Fame.
“I voted for Piazza,” Vaccaro explains. “I voted for him because he was the best offensive catcher I ever saw, because he assembled one of the greatest — if not the greatest — offensive resume of any catcher ever born. And though he has long been caught in the vortex of whispers and rumors about PED use, there has yet to be a credible complaint lodged against him.”
Piazza hit 396 home runs as a catcher, the most in Major League history. He hit 427 home runs in his 16-year Major League career.
Piazza also has the highest slugging percentage, tenth best batting average, 13th best on-base percentage, and fourth most RBI among catchers in Major League history. He was a 12-time All-Star, won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1993, won ten Silver Sluggers and finished in the top 10 of MVP voting in seven seasons.
The 2013 inductees to the National Baseball Hall of Fame will be announced on January 9.
Ok, here's a head scratcher for you Mets fans. If you wanted to collect autographs/memorabilia from people who are closely associated with the Mets, but ARE NOT players, who would you go for? And here I'm talking living, somehow accessible people, I mean I'd love to get a Joan Payson auto, but I don't see that happening, lol. I'm gunna guess people might say the Wilpons, or Sandy Alderson, but who else?
